Day 20 — Favorite LOST theory
I never did too much theorizing or reading of fan theories, but my friend Mike and I correctly predicted the final shot of the series, so, go us!
I’m currently watching it with Dan for the first time and he’s starting to form fun theories. I asked him what he thought was down the hatch and he said Michael Emerson - which, while wrong, wasn’t a bad guess.
Let’s see, let’s see…
Note for those currently watching the show for the first time: major spoilers beyond this point.
One theory I read long ago that interested me, although debunked, was that the Island was purgatory. That stuck with me, so when season six came and that’s basically what the flash-sideways timeline was, I did still think that was a neat idea.
Also, my mother and I both thought Hurley would become protector of the Island. Jack was a good choice, but seemed too obvious (which was even mentioned on the show!). I’m glad it played out the way it did.
